Here's part of our parent team working hard and having fun selling books at our Spanish language book fair. This is the first time we have hosted a Let's Read in Spanish book fair and it was a great success! Lots of beautiful books were bought by parents, teachers and visitors from our community and the other schools. And now Miss Lisa will have several hundred dollars to spend on Spanish language books too for the library and school.

Story time at Flynn. Monday morning. All over the school, lessons stopped and children listened quietly and attentively to our volunteer parents reading picture books, and chapter books, and poetry, in Spanish and English.
